This morning the NFD and Plymouth Ambulance responded to Green St for 10 people sickened by (CO) Carbon Monoxide. CO is colorless, tasteless, odorless and deadly; and if not for everyone in the house vomiting, the occupants may have NEVER woken up. The house did have CO detectors but the batteries were dead or missing. It is extremely important to having WORKING smoke and CO detectors in your home and to test them monthly. #norristownfire #norristown #nfd19401 #silentkiller #carbonmonoxideawareness #carbonmonoxidepoisoning #carbonmonoxidedetector ...
